After making multiple changes to the proposed sound ordinance, City Council voted to defer the ordinance for one week.

City Council voted to lower the permitted bass levels from 95 to 90 decibels and then shrunk the boundaries of the defined music district.

The newly defined music district will run from 7th St. and Market and Broad Streets to Main St. and stop before the railroad tracks. Within this area, music venues and local businesses can apply for a permit to play music at 80 decibels or 90 decibels of bass on the weekend until midnight and weekdays until 11 p.m.

But in order to comply with the state's open meetings act, the council voted to defer voting on the first reading of the ordinance until next Tuesday.
